Supreme Court Meme!
Meme gakked from liz_marcs: In an upcoming interview with Katie Couric to be aired this week, Sarah Palin is unable to name any Supreme Court Case other than Roe v. Wade.
The Rules: Post info about ONE Supreme Court decision, modern or historic, to your lj. (Any decision, as long as it's not Roe v. Wade.)
Yes, like everyone else I first thought of Dred Scott, (technically Dred Scott v. Sandford), and Brown v. Board of Education (technically Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka), but I'll go with their absolutely indefensible 2007 sexual descrimination decision, Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.. Now I freely admit I had to look this up because I couldn't remember Lilly Ledbetter's name, but I knew every salient detail of this case and a quick google on my search terms turned it up as all the hits on the first page of my search. Take that, Sarah Palin! Oh, and I read articles from the NY Times, Washington Post, LA Times, Wall Street Journal, and several other newspapers that I can access online daily.
